what a week and it is only tuesday-we put earnest $ down for the next vehicle we are getting

We went to look last Friday as the dealer advertisement said they had it in stock.

When we got there, we found out it was "en route" it came on a boat from Italy then Train from Boston to Missouri.

Guy told us he thought it would be here mid week.

Meanwhile just this week our Current Jeep (our trade in ) has developed a problem and we are not quite sure what is going on. It is leaking water somewhere even tough we just got a new radiator within the last year.

So tonight it caused us a bit of concern.

Dealer told us it could be Wed/Thurs when the new Jeep would be ready




I am praying it is that soon I love my little jeep and I will baby my jeep just hope it works out.

Makes me sad that they will probably take my baby silver off to auction. When we bought it , there were only 5 miles on it. today it rolled 123,000. We bought it in 04 but it was an 05 .





This one will probably be the last we buy baring some unforeseen issue


I just hope the timing works out I don't want my baby silver to mess up before we get Black magic Jeep

I'll admit, that's a new one to me. Earnest money on real estate, that I'm familiar with.

No matter, I hope you absolutely love your new car.

the earnest money is so that NO ONE gets to test drive until we say yea or nay


So if we buy this/when we buy this we will have been the only drivers!

They leak when they are bad by design. Most jeeps it is an easy replacement.

By Saturday at the latest, we should have our jeep.



my poor wonderful baby silver will most likely be taken to auction


but it did us extremely well for the 15 years we had her.

this week on "Way With Words" they talked about the origin of the name Jeep... the car was named after "Eugene the Jeep"

you may already know this, I just found out Good Luck with the car

But in the OP, the poster said his Jeep was on a boat from Italy. So I'm confused
